It tasted like my regular pea soup, but it did give the soup more body. I like the wheat in it. A little chewy but I did not mind that at all. My DH said that he liked the what in there as well. Good balance. I let mine simmer a lot longer than the time in the recipe. And I did not add any extra water since we like our soup on the thick side. I am thinking that the wheat would be good in a beef soup instead of barley. I bet you already have one like that posted so I am going to go look! I very much appreciate you and your great blog!!!The Station Masterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16946008093942538398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-16873191533690993382009-03-22T12:15:00.000-06:002009-03-22T12:15:00.000-06:00Fun to find so many split pea fans.

This soup/stew looks oh so good! I've never actually cooked with wheatberries - I use them for living Easter grass in baskets and clay pots, where the green of grass is oh so welcome while we still have snow in NH! Now is the time if you want to try growing it - just layer on top of soil and water -up in 6 days.katrinahttp://shesinthekitchen.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-43189010022189002852009-03-20T23:37:00.000-06:002009-03-20T23:37:00.000-06:00Yum!
